Gas turbine engines can be found in many different vehicles. They are very commonly found in race cars and racing boats as well as some aircraft models.

www.muellerenvironmental.com/documents/GER3567H.pdf discusses many factors affecting gas turbine efficiency. It specifically addresses GE turbines, but the factors discussed are relevant to all gas turbine power generators.
The exhaust temperature of gas turbines is very high due to the large amount of energy input into the inlet air by the combustion of fuel in the combustion chamber.
Gas turbine manufacturers generally state the efficiency of their turbines using LHV. However, natural gas in the U.S. is bought and sold on an HHV basis, so be careful that you don't mix units. Otherwise, you will buy a gas turbine that is too small for your anticipated needs.
The capacity of each steam turbines has more than 530 GW in over 6000 installed units. The steam turbines provide high reliability and sustained high efficiency.
Wind turbines.
No, there are gas turbines powered by hot gas formed by the burning of kerosene (in aircraft engines) or by natural gas combustion for electrical generation. Gas turbines are also used in some naval ships. Then there are water turbines as used in hydro power. Also, wind can drive turbines.

Yes, gas can be converted into a source of power through processes like combustion in an engine or a turbine to generate electricity. Natural gas, for example, is commonly used to power electricity generators and heat homes.
In the oil and Gas industries , power is generated by electrical generators driven by Gas turbines , Steam turbines , reciprocating engines or in some cases turbo expanders.
This relationship is the reason advances in turbines and axial compressors often find their way cutaway showing an axi-centrifugal compressor gas turbine.
TurboCare is one of the better gas turbine repair places on the internet. They should have any information you need and will hopefully be able to repair your gas turbine. I've used TransCanada Turbines in the past for my gas turbine repair. Check their website for more information.
